Stifel on Kopin Corp (KOPN): 'More Funding, More Displays, More Ways to Win'

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 05:18:16 -0400

Stifel analyst Jonathan Siegmann reiterated a Buy rating and $6.50 price target on Kopin Corp (NASDAQ: KOPN).

The analyst comments "KOPN announced an additional $18.6m sole-source IBAS award bringing cumulative funding to $34m — validating its MicroLED technology, expanding domestic manufacturing, and supporting development revenues through 2027. Beyond SBMC — the “big kahuna” opportunity — new weapon-sight and aviation applications broaden KOPN's MicroLED opportunity pipeline in military markets. Qualification remains the next gate (SBMC samples are targeted for 1H27), followed by potential production ramps across 2027-29. Commercialization appears to have edged right, making this year’s second funding tranche particularly welcome. Defense

Stifel Reiterates Buy Rating on Kopin Corp (KOPN), Raises Top-Line Estimates

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 09:12:04 -0400

Stifel analyst Jonathan Siegmann reiterated a Buy rating and $6.50 price target on Kopin Corp (NASDAQ: KOPN).

The analyst commented, "We raise our revenue estimates given expectations that Drone Dominance Gauntlet competitions likely are driving incremental volumes for KOPN. Drone Dominance orders for 60,000 drones are pending following Gauntlet II, and KOPN's Sentinel First-Person Viewer (FPV) has strong penetration across multiple participants. Earlystage momentum with Neural I/o (optics/photonics design center in Dallas, early conversations with NVDA NVLink partners) is leading into an expected platform demo at CES in January.
